Assessing the Capability of Large Language Models for Navigation of the Australian Health Care System: Comparative Study

Assessing the Capability of Large Language Models for Navigation of the Australian Health Care System: Comparative Study

Health care in Australia is recognized as both comprehensive and highly complex, making it challenging for many individuals to navigate [1,2]. Although the majority of Australians—around 86%—report navigating the system with relative ease, 14% find it difficult [1]. The challenge is particularly pronounced for health services in regional, rural, and remote contexts, where lack of awareness and the complexity of accessing care are cited as major barriers [3].

Digital Innovation and Integrated Care in People With Diabetes in Western Sydney: Retrospective Cohort Study

Digital Innovation and Integrated Care in People With Diabetes in Western Sydney: Retrospective Cohort Study

It is one of the most culturally diverse areas in Australia and has a number of suburbs with extremely disadvantaged populations. The rates of diabetes in Western Sydney are up to double those of higher-income areas in the city [1]. Western Sydney has an estimated 100,000 people with diabetes in the region. This equates to 13.1% of the adult population of 760,000 [2], with a total population of 1 million people in the region.

Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Reducing Methamphetamine Use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities With the “We Can Do This” Web App: Qualitative Evaluation of Acceptability and Feasibility

Both residential treatment facilities and outpatient counseling therapies are used for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorder in Australia [7,8]. Psychological interventions such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) have shown modest effectiveness [9,10], while strengths-based, collaborative, culturally safe, and family-inclusive approaches to treatment are recommended for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients [11].

COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake, Sources of Information and Side Effects Reported by Pregnant Women in Western Australia: Cross-Sectional Cohort Survey

COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake, Sources of Information and Side Effects Reported by Pregnant Women in Western Australia: Cross-Sectional Cohort Survey

A 2021 survey of doctors and midwives in Australia reported that 60%‐70% of pregnant women had received their first dose, while an estimated two-thirds had been double vaccinated [15]. A recent study based on data from Western Australia (WA) demonstrated a vaccination uptake rate of only 44% in their pregnant participants [15]. At the time of that study, there was no community transmission of COVID-19, and this was potentially an influencing factor for the surveyed women [15].

Co-Design for Developing and Integrating a Model of Care for Pain Management Centers: Protocol for a Biphase Qualitative Study

Co-Design for Developing and Integrating a Model of Care for Pain Management Centers: Protocol for a Biphase Qualitative Study

In 2018, chronic pain was estimated to affect 3.24 million people Australia-wide, and this is estimated to increase to 5.23 million by 2050 [3]. Clinical management of chronic pain applies a biopsychosocial lens [4]. This approach incorporates medication, psychosocial support, and physical reconditioning to promote treatment success [5]. Data from an extensive cross-sectional study reported that only 40% of patients with chronic pain consider their condition to be managed adequately [6].

Investigating Protective and Risk Factors and Predictive Insights for Aboriginal Perinatal Mental Health: Explainable Artificial Intelligence Approach

Investigating Protective and Risk Factors and Predictive Insights for Aboriginal Perinatal Mental Health: Explainable Artificial Intelligence Approach

Despite routine screening for PNDA and anxiety in Australia for over 20 years, the gap in Aboriginal mothers’ and infants’ health and well-being remains unacceptable across all key indicators. This is evident in disproportionately higher rates of premature births, low birth weight babies, and child removal [5,6]. Conventional health systems’ approach to antenatal/postnatal care and screening are often culturally insensitive and retraumatizing for Aboriginal women [9].

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

In Australia, atrial fibrillation–related hospitalizations surged by 295% between 1993 and 2013, far exceeding the 73% rise for myocardial infarction and 39% for heart failure during the same period. The financial impact was equally striking, with atrial fibrillation costs escalating by 479%, more than double that of myocardial infarction or heart failure [2,3].
